One ballet composed by this man was revived under the title The Capricious Woman and had some of its music taken for the male variation of the pas de trois in Paquita. This creator of The Devil to Pay composed a ballet that opens with a miniature overture by Cesare Pugni and was based on a poem by Lord Byron. That ballet contains a pas de fleurs in le jardin animé scene that was composed by this man's pupil, Leo Delibes, and a pas de deux between Medora and the title character, Conrad. Another ballet composed by this man contains the "Grape-Pickers" march and a pas de deux between the protagonist and a prince disguised as (*) Loys. In the second act of that ballet, Hilarion dies at the hands of a group led by Queen Myrtha, and the title peasant girl saves her love, Albrecht, from death at the hands of the Wilis. For 10 points, name this French composer of the ballets Le Corsaire and Giselle who also composed "O, Holy Night".
